An indexable cutting insert has a central mounting portion and two cutting portions. The central mounting portion has opposing upper and lower surfaces. The lower surface has two abutment elements associated therewith, each abutment element having two diverging abutment surfaces forming two abutment angles. The two cutting portions extend away from the central mounting portion, have distal cutting edges, and are entirely located in diagonally opposite imaginary quadrants of four quadrants defined by two mutually perpendicular quadrant planes. Two abutment bisector planes bisecting the two abutment angles and one of the quadrant planes are parallel or coincident. In a top view, the two cutting portions extend away from the central mounting portion in opposite directions. Two cutting bisector lines parallel to the two directions and bisecting the two cutting edges are mutually offset. A cutting tool has an insert holder and the cutting insert removably retained therein.

A deep reach machining tool provides a swing arm cartridge that pivots relative to the tool body about an axis, an open sensor that indicates that the swing arm cartridge is in an open position with respect to the tool body, and a close sensor that indicates that the swing arm cartridge is in a closed position with respect to the tool body.

A coated tool may include a base member and a coating layer located on the base member. The coating layer may include a plurality of AlTi layers including aluminum and titanium as a main component, and a plurality of AlCr layers including aluminum and chromium as a main component. The AlTi layers and the AlCr layers may be located alternately one upon another. The plurality of AlTi layers may include a first AlTi layer and a second AlTi layer located farther away from the base member than the first AlTi layer. Each of the plurality of AlTi layers may further include chromium, and a content ratio of chromium in the second AlTi layer may be higher than a content ratio of chromium in the first AlTi layer.

A cutting tool includes a cutting insert resiliently clamped in an insert holder. The insert holder has a holder longitudinal axis defining opposite forward to rearward directions, and a transversely oriented insert receiving pocket having a pocket longitudinal axis and a pocket front opening. The insert holder includes a forwardly located insert mounting portion that includes upper and lower jaws which together define the insert receiving pocket. The insert receiving pocket at the lower jaw includes a pocket lower clamping surface. The insert receiving pocket at the upper jaw includes a pocket upper clamping surface which faces mutually towards the pocket lower clamping surface. The insert receiving pocket at one of the upper and lower jaws includes a pocket stopper surface facing generally towards the pocket front opening. The upper jaw includes an outer flexibility groove recessed in the holder peripheral surface.

A cutting tool may include a main body having a bar shape extended along a central axis. The main body may include a cutting edge, a first flow path, a second flow path, a third flow and a fourth flow path. The first flow path is located along the central axis and may include an inflow port. The second flow path is located along the central axis and may include a smaller inner diameter than the first flow path. The third flow path may connect to the first flow path and may include a first outflow port. The fourth flow path may connect to the second flow path and may include a second outflow port. The first outflow port is located more away from an imaginary plane including the central axis and the cutting edge than the second outflow port.

A cutting tool, a turning machine including the cutting tool, and an associated method are provided. The cutting tool includes a tool bar extending along an axis, a cutting head located at the tool bar, and at least one sensor integrated with the tool bar or the cutting head. A rotational orientation of the cutting tool with respect to the axis is estimated based on output provided by the at least one sensor. In at least some embodiments, the at least one sensor includes accelerometers configured to measure acceleration in at least two directions.

A tool for a boring machine includes an elongated elongated body extending longitudinally from a proximal end to a distal end, the distal end being shaped to receive a cutting tip, and a cavity inside the body. The tool includes a lattice provided within the cavity and a powder provided in the cavity with the lattice.

A turning tool for internal turning of a metal work piece having a rear end, an opposite forward end and a longitudinal center axis extending therebetween. The first nose cutting edge includes a first radially distal point having an associated first rake face and separates and connects a first forward cutting edge and a first rearward cutting edge. A second nose cutting edge of the turning tool includes a second radially distal point having an associated second rake face and separates and connects a second forward cutting edge and a second rearward cutting edge. The second radially distal point is positioned ahead of the first radially distal point. The first forward cutting edge forms an acute first entering angle, the second forward cutting edge forms an obtuse second back clearance angle, and the second rearward cutting edge forms an acute second entering angle.

A tool includes a cutting insert with a shank, which extends along a cutting insert longitudinal axis, and with at least one cutting edge, wherein at least a part of the cutting insert is a first material and further includes a tool holder which extends along a holder longitudinal axis and includes on an end-face end a cutting insert receptacle for receiving the cutting insert shank, wherein the cutting insert receptacle is a cup-shaped recess. The tool further includes an attachment element which is connected to the cutting insert and extends in a circumferential direction around the cutting insert shank, wherein at least a part of the attachment element is a second, different material. The tool also includes a fastening element for fastening the cutting insert on the tool holder, wherein, in a mounted state, the fastening element contacts the attachment element to fasten the cutting insert on the tool holder.

A resonant frequency dampened through-coolant machine tool for selective mounting to machining systems for precision vibration free machining and has an elongate tool body. An internal dampening chamber is defined within the machine tool body and contains a resonant frequency dampening mass that is moveable within the dampening chamber. Axial and diametrical tunable dampening devices support the dampening mass in spaced relation with internal walls of the dampening chamber. A tuning piston is moveable within the machine tool body and has a tuning flange that is disposed in contact with one of the axial tunable dampening devices. The tuning piston has a pair of oppositely angulated surfaces that are selectively engaged by angulated drive heads of adjustment screws that are supported by threaded openings of the tool body and are rotated to selectively drive the tuning piston forwardly or rearwardly for precise tuning activity. Internal components of the machine tool define a coolant fluid flow passage to conduct a jet of coolant fluid to the metal cutting interface.
